In the same period its equipment obligations were reduced in the net amount of $1,160,352, or a total reduction in indebtedness of $.9,652,052 in that period. This debt reduction was accomplished at a cost of $7,943,519, of which all but $69,925 was obtained from the applicant's treasury cash.; This amount is in excess of the applicant actual net income for 1942 plus its estimated net income for 1943. No dividends were paid on any of the applicant's outstahding stock during that period. It is to the advantage of the applicant to use its available funds for the purpose of retiring its mortgage debt rather than to apply them to the outright purchase of equipment. The mortgage debt bears interest at rates of 4%, 4% %/ftnd 5% per annum, while the pro¬ posed trust certificates have been sold at an interest cost of 2.29%.
